Although there are quite a few Argentines playing abroad, I was expecting more, especially in Europe. The clubs that do have them, tend to have them in bunches. Here are some of the top clubs with Argentinians on their squad lists:

There are quite a few other clubs who have 3 and 4 Argentines on the squad list, mostly in Mexico and Spain. I found it interesting that there are more players from Argentina on Real Salt Lake than in the entire Dutch Eredivisie.
